Notes
I probably first saw this film about 2013, but I apparently was interupted in my viewing, as the last half of the movie was new to me this viewing (2016) -- I really liked it -- Interestingly, I didn't find any mainstream reviews -- but no mind, the reviews at IMDb are worth visiting -- Acting is superb -- While cinematography is pretty much as one might expect in what was probaably a relatively low budget film, it does not distract from the fine script and performances -- As is common with many films, not enough attention has been given to the readability of the captions, which are diffficult to read at some points.
